Eco-Friendly Business Environment
While climate change constitutes one of the most important risks threatening our world, İzmir Development Agency works on the basis of green and blue growth approaches for the sustainable development of İzmir.
While these efforts make İzmir’s investment environment eco-friendly,
İzmir prioritizes attracting foreign investments that will contribute to its sustainable development.
In this context, clean energy, clean technologies, software and IT services constitute the priority sectors of İzmir, while İzmir positions itself as “City of Technology, Powered by Clean Energy”.
GREEN GROWTH
Sustainability is of vital importance for İzmir, where the effects of global climate change are clearly observed. For this reason, İzmir Development Agency supports strategies to prevent the negative effects of climate change on water resources, natural riches and agricultural production in the region, by promoting the use of renewable energy and developing applications that will increase resource efficiency in production.
BEST FOR ENERGY PROJECT
One of the most important projects executed to make İzmir’s investment environment eco-friendly is the BEST For Energy (Boosting Effective and Sustainable Transformation for Energy) Project.
